Bolshevism does not help humanity but means ruin and desola tion. Any one who studies conditions of Russia at the present time is forced to this conclusion. The thing for America to do is to deter mine it shall not get a foothold here. The Baltimore American speaking about the situation in Russia truly says: From whatever honest and trustworthy narrator we oh tain information about what has happened and what is hap pening in Bolshevik Russia, the picture presented shows demoli tion and devastation, with not a sign of actual construction. Bombastic talk about building museums, schools, colleges, art galleries —about gorgeous plans for creating a gorgeous Bol shevik Russia —there is not like of this kind of pipe-dream stuff. From whatever angle of view the story about what Bolshevism has already done for Russia comes, the purport is the same. Bolshevism means ruin and desolation. 0 Buy a Victory Bond and keep it. It is a good investment and you are helping your country when you buy one. No one need he uneasy about Cerniany signing the peace treaty; it will be done in quick order and the proper style when the time comes. Don’t worry your mind about the signing business. 0 The world has experienced the most bloody carnage over before witnessed in it-- history, and yet there are men who oppose and some senators who would stand in the way of a league of nations to enforce peace. 0 Every man who can should take a few bonds and show Ids appre ciation to the boys who risked their lives that we might be victorious. If you are able to subscribe it ought to be a pleasure. This is just as important as the previous bond issues and you should feel it a duty to respondto your country’s call. 0 We have enough of the undesirable element already in this coun try without allowing any more of that class land on our shores. If we were to adopt the policy of Canada and enact a law giving author ity to deport all who are not satisfactory it would be better for us. 0 The strike craze has reached the school children of Knoxville, Tenn., fifteen hundred of them going on a strike because tlie school board failed to elect their favorite teacher. 0 Some paper remarks that so many girls are disappointed in mar riage. What about so many men who are down and out with the same complaint? The thing for a girl to do, if she can find out, is to marry a man and for the man to marry a sure enough woman. But what’s Ihe use to advise? PRESS CLIPPINGS. When New York Was Dry. The fact that the city and state of New York once were dry for nearly a year was recalled the other day by Arthur L. ('ruiekshank, of Chicago, who was born in New N ark 8() years ago. The experience of New Yorkers under arid conditions came .just before the outbreak of the civil war. Mr. (’ruiekshank said, and after the law had provoked turmoil throughout the state the court of appeals declared it uncon eonstitutional and inoperative. For an a count of the state’s experi ence Mr. (’ruiekshank referred to Robert’s History of New York, which says:: “Maine had inaeted its law of prohibition in 1851, and its exam ple attracted much attention in New York. In the session of 1854 the legislature passed an act for the suppression ol‘ intemperance, which aimed to prohibit the sale of intoxicating drinks. Governor Seymour interposed Ids veto on March 'lO, 1854, having previously warned the legislature not to inae.t in opposition to t he rights of the citizens. “The measure, however, finally was put on the statue hooks, and its enforcement caused a protest from one end of the state to the oth er. While the indignation was at its height a gubernatorial election was held and Governor Seymour, opposed unitedly by the press and the clergy, failed of re-election, hut only by .‘lO9 votes. “Eleven months after ils passage the constitutionality of the law was called into question and the court of appeals banded down a de cision that the measure could not stand.”—Now York Times. , K f 0 * t NO EXCUSE NOW. im port y years ago there was some excuse for bad roads, for our country was poor. Now it is rich and there is no excuse. A good road is always to he desired and is a source of comfort and convenience to every traveler. Good roads attract population as well as good schools and churches. Good roads improve the value of property, so that it is said that a farm lying five miles from the market connected by a bad road, is of less value than an equally good farm connected by a good road. A larger load can he drawn by one horse over a good road than by two over a had one.— Hartford News Herald. u— TRAINING THE BOY. A genuine mother ••mild no more raise a had hoy into a had man than a robin could raise a hawk. When we say a “genuine mother.” we mean something more than a mother who prays with her hov and sends him to Sunday school. All these things are good, and indispen sable as far as they go, hut there h a lot more to do to train a hoy be sides praying with him. just as there are things necessary to the culti vation of a garden besides reading a manual. To succeed with roses one must prune, weed and hoe a great deal. To make a hoy into a pure man. a mother must do more than pray. She must live with him in the sense of comrade and closest friend. She must stand by him in time of temptation as the pilot sticks to the wheel when rapids are around. She must never desert him t<> go off to superintend outside duties any more than the engineer deserts his post and goes into the baggage ear to read up engineering when his train is pounding across the country at forty miles an hour.— '■Wlaeauga News. OWN YOUR OWN HOME. The Own-Your-Home campaign is in full swing in every section of the country where citizens, recognizing the desirability of encour aging home builders because the home owner always makes tlie best citizen, are putting their shoulder to the wheel to push forward the movement The United States government says, “Build Now,’’because homes are needed at once for all classes of people Bankers and dealers in investment securities say, “Build Now,” because they have money tied up in their vaults for this safest of all investments. Dealers in building materials say, “Build Now,” and they are putting the cost of their wares down as low as possible to encourage immediate building. Churches say, “Build Now,” for the home owners are the staunch supporters of religion. Cities, towns and villages; industrial corporations, manufactur ers, philanthropists, educators, professional people, mechanics, poli ticians —all say, “Build Now,” and it is probable that in no period in the history of the world has there been such a persistent appeal to the people of the world to get busy and build homes.—Tampa Tribune.
